england_n so_o much_o as_o to_o suffer_v a_o imputation_n to_o be_v cast_v upon_o they_o that_o they_o or_o the_o common_a law_n do_v not_o attribute_v as_o great_a power_n and_o authority_n to_o

hereby_o to_o derogate_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n far_o be_v it_o from_o my_o thought_n it_o be_v the_o great_a council_n of_o the_o kingdom_n wherein_o every_o

another_o argument_n and_o reason_n against_o the_o postnati_a have_v be_v late_o make_v out_o diffidence_n of_o diffidence_n and_o mistrust_n that_o they_o will_v come_v into_o england_n sans_o

we_o then_o suspect_v it_o now_o more_o for_o scotland_n nay_o do_v you_o suppose_v that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n will_v ever_o suffer_v so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o his_o dominion_n and_o so_o

of_o what_o be_v that_o to_o the_o young_a postnati_a that_o be_v not_o like_a in_o many_o year_n to_o come_v hither_o in_o such_o number_n shall_v we_o upon_o this_o causeless_a fear_n deprive_v

this_o little_a that_o he_o have_v be_v so_o small_a and_o poor_a a_o portion_n that_o his_o purchase_n be_v not_o great_a and_o therefore_o no_o just_a cause_n of_o offence_n to_o any_o nay_o
